Finance LLM powering ASKB on Bloomberg Terminal.

Our verdict
BloombergGPT began as a 50B-parameter finance LLM and, by 2026, underpins ASKB—the Bloomberg Terminal’s conversational AI. Rather than offering a public API, Bloomberg delivers the model’s strengths inside the workflows institutional users already rely on. The ASKB pages highlight agentic orchestration across trusted data, transparent citations, multi‑document analysis, and the rare but powerful ability to output BQL so analysts can jump straight into Excel or BQuant. The roadmap also calls out RMS Enterprise integration and mobile/Vision Pro access, which broaden its reach for research teams. The main weakness is access: there’s no standalone plan or published pricing—capability is tied to a Bloomberg Terminal subscription and ASKB remains in beta. Developers looking for an LLM API will come up short. Still, for Terminal clients the value is real: faster earnings prep, cited answers, and explainable outputs grounded in Bloomberg’s data stack.
